Great question! I am not at my computer at the moment but I will look. If not, I know where three XJs with the 2.8L with an auto tranny are.

New head bolts won’t hurt. When I removed my cylinder head, some bolts were rusty, damaged threads or both. I blew out my current evap with compressed air. No problems. Idea is to make sure there is not moisture or oil left from the old system in the evap. Course Minuit might get onto me about such. Not sure on how to flush them though.

Crown actually makes those. They’re called well nuts. P# 34201348

Did you remove the door switches and check them out? Maybe one of the power wires is barely hanging on and is touching the body of the switch and shorting out.

Yeah I haven’t the foggiest idea why it is like it. I I think I wired up my relays wrong and need to change that. But I think my latch mechanism also is a foul member there too as locking and unlocking it by hand before power locks was a challenge. I’ve lubed the hell out of it and I think I just need to take it out and let it soak in some cleaner.

That would be awesome as it seems standard and the barrel crimpers I got will only probably reach to about the second one in a row of four. That being said the power wire could go to one of the end terminals now that I think about it.

Trying to, lol. Still no sign of where the airbag one came from.

That being said Pete, if you recall the Mopar hood lock one, @88mjsally found a 89 build sheet and that hood lock code back in the day meant Dash Mounted Hood Release.

I can get ya a build sheet if you mind changing the title to the VIN or posting it.

It could but most build sheets prior to 89 are incomplete.

Right but I ran into this issue except instead of two, it was four across. So I am not sure if that crimper is up to the task.

I need to redo my power locks. It acts weird. Using the drivers side switch, it acts sluggish and slow. Passenger side will go all day with no fault unlocking and locking both sides. That being said, I keep trying to come up with a way to set up a relay pack to take the load off the switch.

Renix? Bad? There are way worse engine management systems that were made than Renix. If anything Renix is probably one of the more simpler systems even though its one of the firsts computer controlled fuel injection system. It really boils down to the live data from the MS-1700 dealer scan tool, REM and a multimeter. Less time consuming than to find a donor and swap every harness and electronics over to say HO. Even more challenging if you have the 2.5L as there is more involved for an HO swap there.

I am in for a write up. Would love to restore the tailgate that originally came with my truck.

Wow!! Has it really been a few months?! Well I have not done much to her at all. Been driving her like normal. Took her on the freeway to take my girlfriend home back in January. LR kept egging me on to do 70 the whole way to the air port. Still hopefully going to install the long bed running boards soon. Other things get in the way and I had the rear brackets for the running boards powder coated so they will last longer in their present shape. Been putting those off for too long. Been collecting NOS parts and selling so not much there. Been keeping her clean and what not. Replaced the taillamps with a much much better set. Spent a total of a whole day worth of work , scrubbing, cleaning, polishing and painting the lamps. They look fantastic but I have been neglecting to take a pic. But here is one of the lamps: This one didnt take me too long. The passenger side and its paint gave me quite the fuss. I do love how great they came out. Ill snap a pic of both lamps installed. Also replaced all the tailgate rubbers with fiatslugs new ones, so now the tailgate and the straps no longer fight with me when closing. Camper shell bugs me. I have to adjust it every so often and I think it has seen much better fitting days but hey, free is free. Rustoleum paint some how sucks now. I painted a couple valve covers with the stuff and the paint kept coming off with the masking tape. But some Mopar silver and black and now I am gonna strip the other back up covers to withstand and take the engine heat. Nothin much else to report, been giving the T-bird some attention, looking for a house(hellish nightmare here) and just enjoying the drive each morning and afternoon.

All I can say is I might have some of the bolts left over that I used but its more or less based on the riv-nut you use. The passneger side with the three bolts may or may not have nuts there for the bolts to go into. 2.5L's have those bolts there for the engine dampner but not sure with a 4.0L engine bay. The single bolt on the drivers side, I ended up finding a bolt that threaded in to the hole that lined up with the plate hole.

RIV-NUTS!!! Thats how the factory put them on.

I’m pretty sure that’s how I got hired for target on the spot. The gentleman interviewing me was in scouts and a scoutmaster for a time too. I do miss talking to that man. He shortly retired after my first 6 months in.

Damn! I bet you have some stories.
